Hi Girlies -
Thinking of you and this blog. I like it!
What a sweet picture of Mom - I can almost reach out and touch her very soft skin.
I'm very sad for a friend of mine here at work. About 6-8 weeks ago her breast cancer came back after 3 years and she had a double masectomy (sorry about the spelling) and just recently went for the old scan only to find out that things have worsened. Her doctor has terrible bedside manners and merely told her that "it's not good, the cancer is growing, you have 2 years" which, obviously, she was devastated by. She is a fighter and a do-er - really a very sweet girl (maybe in her 40s) - so she went for another opinion and is now going to see Dr. Shapiro at the James. I hate this cancer stuff!
Just wanted to take a minute to reach out.
Love you girls.
Lizzie

How sad for your friend. Hopefully she will get the encouragement from the James Center that you and Diane have received. I will pray for her that she will be able to be optimistic as she continues on with more treatment.
ReplyDeleteI am glad she is getting a second opinion. Even with that, it is only an opinion. Educated opinion, of course, but an opinion. Doctors are not God and sometimes patients have their own agendas. Sounds like her good attitude will help her along the road no matter where the journey takes her. I saw Dr. Shapiro's nurse practitioner, Carmen, last week. She is awesome. And Dr. Shapiro is no slouch. Your friend is in good hands now.
